→Horus Heresy
==Horus Heresy==
Askarid was on the planet system [[Hattusa system|Hattusa]] with Voss and the [[817th Expedition Fleet]] when [[Horus]] began his [[Horus Heresy|rebellion]] against the Emperor. As the Fleet tried to comprehend what had happened, the [[Edict of Dissolution]] was passed by the Council of Terra soon afterwards; the Remembrancers were disbanded and no longer allowed to record the events of the Crusade. Voss was unable to grasp Horus' betrayal and insisted that he needed to see [[Isstvan V]] himself, to put to words the scope of the [[Warmaster]]'s rebellion, so that no one would be able to doubt the truth. Askarid tried for days to discourage Voss from going, knowing that if Horus did betray the [[Imperium]], his life would be placed in danger by going. But when it was obvious Voss could not be persuaded from going, she reluctantly decided to go with him.{{Fn|1}}
Despite being stripped of his title as a Remembrancer, Voss soon used his influence and connections to have a ship travel to Isstvan V. Before Askarid and Voss left, he persuaded a group of former Remembrancers to join them, so that the truth would be shouted from the works of as many witnesses as possible. When they reached Isstvan V, the [[Drop Site Massacre|battle]] was long over and their ship was surrounded by the debris of destroyed warships. As their ship made its way towards the planet they were stopped by a [[Sons of Horus]] warship and soon boarded by the [[Space Marines]], who demanded the group leave with them. When one of the former Remembrancers from their group asked why, her arms were torn from their sockets and she was left on the ground to bleed to death. Seeing that they had no choice, the group boarded the Sons of Horus' warship and found themselves grouped with captured Remembrancers who had been turned over by the Legions who had sided with Horus.{{Fn|1}}
